Atlantic Starr's 20th Century Masters may not contain every hit the group ever had, but it has all of the big ones, making this an excellent choice for listeners who want simply the basics. In fact, many of those listeners may find the very conciseness of this collection preferable to 2000's Ultimate Collection, which may contain more tracks but feels more padded.
